Visit the Don’t Rush to Flush bin map for medication drop-off locations near you, accepted items, hours of operation, and other information.

How Does It Work?

Follow these 3 easy steps:

At home, remove pills and other solid medications from their containers and consolidate in a clear plastic zipper bag. Keep liquid and cream medication tightly sealed in their original containers. (NOTE – keep medications in their child-proof container until just prior to drop off).

Bring zipper bag and any liquids/creams to a Don’t Rush to Flush location and place in the bin – It’s that easy!

Note: Medications should remain in the
original child-proof container until just prior to drop-off.
